I think most of that is true, (born in 1959 myself), but I'm not remembering them being such happy days. Maybe less well informed days would be a better way to put it; before we had instant news of every bad thing happening, we lived in a kind of blissful ignorance.

Everyone on earth is racist, make no mistake. It's hardwired into our brains to see other certain groups of people as lesser or less deserving. Maybe it's a holdover from primitive times, we're not that far out from having been cave-people, maybe being tribal was a way of protecting ourselves. At any rate, everyone has some racism and/or phobia about others inside themselves.

Fastest cars, yet can't do 35 in a 40 zone..

If you were born in the 50's you had rock and roll, acid rock, heavy metal, disco, synthwave, house, grunge, and rap.

Not a bad claim to the best music. They only missed classical, jazz and big band. Weird Al was born in the 50's. If you think Weird Al doesn't have the best music then I say to you, "Good day, sir!"

fastest cars

You can buy a mid level sedan with a turbo today that will blow the doors off of most cars from that era. I mean we have cars today with 1500+ horsepower with zero modifications.

1999ers have a good chance to see 3 centuries and 2 millenia, dats even cooler :)

born in the '50s*

Are they aware Happy Days wasn’t a documentary?

This is the mentality of older boomers you didn't go through the war or the 50s you were a baby. You literally rode the 60s-90s boom train . Remember one telling me rose tinted stories about rationing dude was 50 it ended like 20 years before he was born
